2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1) Overview
The Dr Trust iCheck Ear and Forehead Thermometer measures the body
temperature based on the infrared energy emitted from the eardrum or the
forehead. Users can quickly get measurement results after positioning
properly the temperature probe in the ear canal or on forehead.

     In these cases, remove the individual from the situation and wait for 20
     minutes prior to taking a temperature reading.
     Use the untreated ear if prescription ear drops or other ear medications
     have been placed in the ear canal.

10.CARE AND MAINTENANCE

     Use an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened with 70% alcohol to
     clean the thermometer casing and the measuring probe. After the
     alcohol has completely dried out, you can take a new measurement.
     Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of the thermometer.
     Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners or benzene for cleaning
     and never immerse the instrument in water or other cleaning liquids.
     Take care not to scratch the surface of the LCD screen.
